The Custom Spray System
K-13 is the spray-applied insulation tailored to your specific project requirements for insulation (R value), noise reduction (NRC), color, durability, condensation control, texture, and aesthetics. In addition, it usually provides these features at lower installed prices than many common systems such as rigid board and batt insulations, sprayed plasters, and acoustical ceilings.
It is applied to virtually any properly prepared surface configuration of wood, steel, concrete, glass and other common construction surfaces. K-13 can be sprayed up to five inches thick overhead in one application without mechanical support. Additionally, K-13 serves as the exposed finish requiring no additional materials.

A Total System: Fiber, Binder, Application
K-13 is a total system of recycled natural fibers, chemical treatment, binding system and application method. The K-13 system begins with specially prepared cellulose fibers which are chemically treated to add resistance to fire, mold and mildew. K-13 is produced in a strict, quality controlled manufacturing process.
K-13 is applied by an international network of licensed applicators through approved fiber machines and nozzles for control of the fiber/binder ratio. During application, the K-13 fibers are combined with a patented adhesive. The finished product is a strong, durable monolithic coating of a predetermined thickness. Some surfaces will require priming prior to being sprayed.
Naturally Tough - Naturally Attractive
With its texture and wide variety of colors, K-13 is especially attractive as a surface finish in new construction as well as renovation projects. Available in six standard colors, K-13 can also be specified in specially matched custom colors.

Thermal Performance
K-13 insulates by creating dead air spaces between and within its hollow fibers. Because K-13 fibers are sprayed-in-place, they fill cracks, seams and voids, forming a monolithic coating over the substrate which reduces air infiltration. Unlike prefabricated insulations, K -13 has no voids or compressed areas to reduce thermal efficiency. The result is a more effective in-place product with exceptionally low heat transfer characteristics.
The patented adhesive utilized in the installation ofK-13 adheres to virtually all common construction materials inclu9-ing: metal, wood, concrete, urethane, styrofoam and glass. Some surfaces may require pretreatment prior to installing K -13. This unique adhesive provides unequaled strength allowing applications of 3/4 inch to over 5 inches without mechanical support. This capability provides R-values from 3 to over 19.
Condensation Control
For areas such as indoor pools and ice arenas, K-13 aids in condensation control. The proper combination of K-13 and ventilation prevents condensation on metal, concrete and other surfaces. K -13 actually reduces ventilation requirements, saving in both the ventilation equipment investment and operating costs.


           


Acoustical Performance
The resilient fibers of K-13 absorb sound energy instead of reflecting it, reducing reverberation time and making speech and music more intelligible. Excessive noise is eliminated with the application ofK-13 while greatly improving ambient sound quality in a wide variety of building projects including auditoriums, sports facilities, detention facilities, television and sound studios, convention centers and parking garages.

Sound Results

Product Description
SonaSpray "fc" is a spray-applied acoustical texture designed for a wide range of project types. SonaSpray "fc" provides an attractive, high performance solution to acoustical and lighting design objectives in both new construction and renovation projects. Typical installations include schools, churches, auditoriums, passenger terminals, libraries, detention facilities, cafeterias, offices, hotels and condominiums.
SonaSpray "fc" is available in White, Arctic White and specially matched colors.
Acoustical Performance
As tested by a NVLAP accredited acoustical laboratory per ASTM C-423, SonaSpray "fc" provides an exceptionally high noise reduction coefficient (NRC). A typical installation of 1/2" thick on solid backing has an unequalled NRC of .65.
Substrate Compatibility
SonaSpray "fc" conforms to any surface configuration such as barrel vaults, concrete "T", corrugated decks, pan construction and other complex surfaces. The high performance adhesive bonds to virtually all construction materials including gypsum board, plaster, wood, metal and concrete. Some surfaces (waterstained ceilings, wood and oxidized metal) require sealing to prevent migratory staining of the SonaSpray "fc".
Durability and Maintenance
The strong, resilient bond of the adhesive used to apply SonaSpray "fc" provides a remarkably durable surface. SonaSpray "fc" resists impact and abrasion without the cracking or spalling typical to many cementitious or plaster-based materials.
In areas where even higher abrasion resistance may be desirable, SonaSpray "fc" Dura-k may be specified. This product provides even greater bond and compressive strength without reducing the acoustical performance.

System Description
Celbar is a blend of specially prepared cellulose fibers, organic in nature, treated with adhesive and fire resistant chemicals. When sprayed in place, the interlocking fibers result in a mass which produces excellent sound and'thermal properties.
Celbar is pneumatically spray-applied in wall and floor/ceiling cavities to form a monolithic coating. This process seals cracks and holes in the wallboard, around plumbing and electrical outlets, vent ducts and other irregularities. There are no compressed areas or voids to allow sound leaks, R value reductions, or air infiltration.
Performance Where It Counts
Celbar provides superior sound transfer control demanded by building designers, owners and occupants. Celbar assemblies perform closer to lab tested STC ratings in the field than do other conventional batt and sound board systems. This is due to the complete coverage and the sealing action of Celbar.
Laboratory tests have proven that Celbar produces significantly higher STC values than other identically constructed wall systems
